the trumpet call
prompted by “Subway Music”

and why not in New York
the biggest place
and
a small place
beneath

an open space near
a train

and if hell should be at all down there
maybe
the near trumpet call
will harrow hell
then
rise
to be heard by the rest
with all of us or
each of us
or in loving partnerships or groups
decide for faith

as if no one would not
and yet some
might not

c l couch


. . . 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
